Ranveer Singh Randhawa had everything-power, wealth, and the world at his feet. But the one thing he never wanted? Shayari Chatterjee. The perfect, poised, and infuriatingly brilliant woman who had been a part of his life since childhood. For years, he dismissed her, hurt her, and pretended she didn't matter. Until the day she walked away. Shayari had spent a lifetime loving Ranveer, only to be met with cold indifference. When life pushed her into his world again, she held onto her dignity, refusing to let him break her one more time. But fate had other plans, and before she knew it, the man who once denied her was now the one who couldn't stand to lose her. A love story born in childhood, tested by time, and redeemed by fate-this is a tale of heartbreak, redemption, and a love so intense, it refuses to be ignored.

He had already decided-thirty days, a signature, and they'd go back to being strangers. No attachments. No emotions. Just a deal. But somewhere in between, the lines blurred. Somewhere in between, a home was built, a love so quiet yet so consuming took root in places they never dared to look. And when the contract ended, they walked away-pretending none of it had ever meant anything. Yet, some feelings never fade, some stories refuse to be forgotten, and some hearts find their way back-no matter how much time or distance tries to pull them apart. Because love, the kind that lingers in every breath, every unspoken word-it was never meant to be temporary. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙚⋆ ୨ৎ ──────── ✦ 1ꜱᴛ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴇꜱᴛɪɴʏ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ 🌷
